　　many detective and police shows.

　　you anything.

　　big town.

　　M: My colleague⁶ thinks the government should give all the students

　　a weekly wage. I'm not sure I agree with him. Some students would

　　want to be students for the whole of their life; however, my

　　colleague doesn't think so. He said that he doesn't need a high

　　wage, just an allowance⁷. I don't think it would be a good idea. I

　　think it would be better for the government to give students an

　　interest free loan⁸. That's what they do in Sweden. Then my

　　colleague agrees with me. He thinks that sounds like quite a good

　　idea. The students can pay it back in ten years.
